How does our community support #MinorityMentalHealthMonth? One said, "I share my story of survival and I participate with others,” while another said, "Work to understand how the stigma impacts their communities and resistance to seek help." Read: afsp.org/story/we-asked…

You are deserving of patience, compassion, and grace. Remember, each of us is experiencing life for the very first time, and simply finding your way is an achievement worth celebrating. ✨
